Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, Parents and Teachers are the most important factors in the life of the ancients.

To have a master is like having him as half a son, and you will have to support him until he retires.

It can be seen that the status of the master is very high.

And what kind of status would it be to be the teacher of the crown prince, who is second only to the emperor?

To be honest, Chu Qiu Ze didn't want to agree. It was inevitable for him to give advice and instruction to the prince. After all, his mission had to be accomplished through this powerful prince.

In this dynasty where imperial power is supreme, it is really necessary to have no rights.

Therefore, his future relationship with the prince can be said to be mutually beneficial, or more directly, it can be said to be mutual benefit.

Once you accept a disciple, it becomes a responsibility.

This means that he will be responsible to the crown prince and also to Dahan in the future.

But this was the emperor's intention, and he was too embarrassed to refuse directly.

Chu Qiuze spoke slowly after a long while, "I need to think about it again."

The old emperor didn't look very happy. As the Son of Heaven, he lowered himself to let his son, the future crown prince, worship Chu Qiu Ze as the great teacher. But he didn't expect that Chu Qiu Ze actually refused.

Do you really think that he, the emperor, is a paper tiger?

The prince's expectations were dashed, and his ears drooped down, like a little golden retriever that had suffered injustice.

Lan An understood Chu Qiuze and had some guesses in his mind, "Brother, it is a big deal for a deity to accept a disciple. I'm afraid he should ask his family before making a decision."

Chu Qiuze felt warm at heart. He knew that Lan was trying to help him out, so he continued, "Your Majesty, I really need to discuss the matter of taking in a disciple with my brother."

The old emperor had also heard of the God of Light's brother, the God of Medicine.

I heard that although the God of Medicine cannot provide many things that are beneficial to the development of Dahan like the God of Light, he can cure the plague.

The old emperor guessed that the longevity pill he took might have been made by the God of Medicine.

He had heard that gods could not make ordinary people immortal.

He is quite satisfied with this now.

The God of Medicine cannot be offended, and the God of Light, who is someone he wants to capture, naturally cannot be offended either.

There is no need to rush to accept a disciple; there will always be opportunities in the future.

The old emperor compromised temporarily, "That's right. This is a big deal. Qiu Ze needs to discuss it with the God of Medicine. This is as it should be."

Chu Qiuze breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the old emperor would be stubborn.

At that time, out of courtesy, you will have to agree even if you don't want to.

But the old emperor did not intend to give up so quickly. "Qiu Ze, how long will you stay here? Have you seen the customs and habits of Dahan? Do you want to visit other countries?"

There is temptation and fear in these words.

Chu Qiuze is a smart man. "I'm not sure how long I'll stay, but I also want to see if Dahan can have peace and prosperity with my help. As for whether I will go somewhere else in the future, that depends on where Lan An is."

If Lan An rebelled, he would definitely follow Lan An, so the target of the old emperor's attack was not him, but Lan An.

Lan An's heart was deeply moved. If there were no other people around, he would really want to hold Chu Qiu Ze in his arms.

Obviously, the old emperor also understood what Chu Qiuze meant.

He nodded slightly, feeling quite satisfied. Lan An was brought up by him. During the wars in previous years, Lan An took the lead in charging. He also assisted the prince in these years without slacking off. It was impossible for him to have any intention of rebellion.

Since the God of Light values ​​​​Blue Eucalyptus so much, it is a good thing.

"Elf." The old emperor warned his son: "In the future, you must learn more from your uncle."

"Son, I understand." The prince was not stupid and understood the implication of his father's words. He was already close to his uncle, so it would not hurt to get even closer in the future.

The topic of becoming an apprentice came to an end. After they chatted for a while, the old emperor decided to let them leave.

"Xuan Du, you haven't seen the Concubine Dowager since you came back, right?" The old emperor found a suitable excuse: "The Concubine Dowager has become less and less willing to leave the palace recently. You should go see her more often."

Back then, the elders in the palace knew everything about the late emperor forcibly marrying Lan An's mother.

At that time, the old emperor was already the crown prince, but he was powerless to stop it.

Lan An walked down the steps and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking. After visiting my brother, I'll go see my mother."

"Go ahead. I won't keep you here any longer." The old emperor suddenly thought of something else. "Where is Qiu Ze? Does he have a place to stay when he comes down to earth? There are many vacant bedrooms in the palace. Would you like to live in the palace? It would be convenient for someone to serve you."

It seems that he doesn't know that Chu Qiu Ze has to go home every night.

This is perfect. The portal should not be exposed casually, especially in front of such an ambitious person.

Chu Qiuze was about to refuse when he saw Lan An's hand covering his own.

"Royal brother, it would be good for Qiu Ze to live with me." Lan An's face looked unhappy, and it was obvious that he was thinking of something unpleasant.

Lan An was worried that the foolish things the late emperor did in his old age would happen to him and Chu Qiu Ze.

After all, the title of the God of Light is much more resounding than his mother who was born at the Three Yang Hour.

Everyone wants to live a long life, especially those who possess supreme power.

If the emperor knew that he and Chu Qiuze were interested in each other and insisted on keeping Chu Qiuze in the palace, then...

Alas, the old emperor sighed. He was confused, and Lan An also misunderstood.

Lan An's mother is his nemesis and cannot be mentioned.

"Go ahead." The old emperor waved his hand. "I am tired. I will discuss the development of Dahan another day. As for where Qiu Ze wants to live, it is up to him."

Lan An heaved a sigh of relief, pulled Chu Qiu Ze up, bowed and left.

After leaving the emperor's bedroom, she squeezed into the same sedan chair with Chu Qiu Ze and never let go of his hand.

Chu Qiuze could vaguely feel that Lan An's palms were full of sweat.

He recalled those rumors and realized belatedly that Lan An was worried and afraid.

He held Lan'an's hand and said, "Don't worry. I told you, wherever you are, I'll be there."

Lan Euan put her arm around his shoulders, and they snuggled together quietly as the car rocked.

It was the first time that Chu Qiuze saw Lan Euan showing a hint of vulnerability.

"Let me ask you." Chu Qiuze whispered in Lan'an's ear, "Do you want to be the emperor?"

I can help you.

In this world, if you are an emperor and have supreme power, then there is nothing to be afraid of.

Although in his opinion, the dragon throne is completely inferior to that of the 21st century.

But if Lan An wants, he can, he is willing to make it happen.

The worst that can happen to him is that he will be promoted from princess to queen!

Lan An knew what he was thinking and shook her head gently, "No."

Just two words, but the tone was firm.

It seems that he is really not interested in the dragon throne anymore, and Chu Qiuze is relieved.

"Friend Lan, when Dahan has developed steadily, we will go... find a good place and live our own lives without worrying about government affairs or right and wrong, okay?"

He doesn't want to bring up the idea of ​​taking Lan An to live in the modern world yet, after all, Lan An's family is here.

What he thought was that after they got married, he would clock in for work with Lan An and his boss, Da Han, every day, and then return to modern times at night.

"Okay." He received a tighter embrace from Blue Eucalyptus.

It doesn't matter where I go, as long as Chu Qiu Ze is there.

The carriage went all the way towards the deep palace.

Chu Qiu Ze began to feel confused again. The princes had their own territories, and after the death of the previous emperor, they could take their mother to live in the territories.

Even if the prince stays in Beijing and has his own mansion, he can still take his mother away.

Since Lan An's mother had no feelings for the late emperor, it could even be said that this palace was the source of her pain.

Then why don't you leave?

He spoke his mind.

"Checks and balances." Lan An only answered with two words.

But Chu Qiuze understood that Lan An's power was too high and he had a good reputation among the people, so the old emperor was jealous of him.

Lan An's mother was his enemy, and keeping her in the palace was like keeping her as a hostage.

Even if Lan An wants to rebel, he has to think carefully.

Alas, Chu Qiuze sighed again, the royal relationship is really too complicated.

Can't they just have a simple and unpretentious brotherly love like he and his brother?

In the eyes of the emperor and the princes, are the throne and power the only things that matter?

This world is so beautiful, but if you cling to power, your vision will be the most narrow.

But everyone has their own aspirations, lives in different times, and has different ideas, so Chu Qiuze has no intention of saying anything.

But the idea of ​​his future mother-in-law being a hostage still made him unhappy.

See if there is a way to bring my mother-in-law to live outside the palace.

Lan An's mother's surname was Wu. After the death of the previous emperor, she was named the Queen Mother and has lived in this deep palace ever since.

Her son had returned, and she had been looking forward to it since early morning.

Back then, she was just a common woman who had no control over her own destiny, and she hated the late emperor and this magnificent prison.

But the blue eucalyptus is always the flesh that fell from her body and the continuation of her bloodline.

Although the relationship between mother and son is not close, she always cares about him.

"Your Highness, Your Highness the Dowager Consort." The palace maid's voice came in a brisk and excited voice, "The prince has returned. Look, is that the prince on the sedan chair?"

The maid was assigned to this palace since she was young. Her master was not competitive, had a gentle temperament, and treated the servants very well.

So over the years, she was able to talk to her master a few words, and she knew that the only thing on her master's mind was their prince.

The concubine Dowager looked in the direction the palace maid pointed. She was just curious about why her son was sitting in a sedan chair in the palace.

But she felt relieved when she saw her son holding someone in his arms.

My son knows how to take care of others. He is 30 years old now and it is time for him to start a family.

But as they walked a little closer, the toffee suddenly discovered that the child in her son's arms was a boy.

Concubine Wu: “…”

She never imagined that her son was actually a homosexual.

Whatever, as long as my son likes it.

The most precious thing in this world is to have the heart of one person and stay together until old age.

"Mother." Lan An got off the sedan chair and bowed politely.

Chu Qiuze was a little nervous. He originally thought that Lan An's mother was about the same age as his own parents.

I never thought that I would be so young, but when I think about the fact that people get married early in this era, I feel relieved.

He imitated Lan An and bowed to greet her: "How are you, auntie?"

Concubine Wu was slightly startled. Being addressed as aunt made her feel extremely comforted.

At this time, she was no longer the Queen Mother, but just Lan An's mother, an ordinary woman.

"Okay, okay." Concubine Wu Shangqian lifted up the two people's arms, "Come in, can we have dinner?"

Lan An was happy to see her mother smiling. She and her mother were not close, but it was not that they were emotionally cold. She just didn't know how to communicate with her mother.

Now that Chu Qiu Ze has arrived, a smile appeared on the mother's face. Thinking back to the conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that she had heard about among the people, it seemed that she would not have the chance to experience them anymore.

That's fine.
